Making a sign for your business that grabs attention from passers-by is a big part of boosting your brand’s popularity. There are many ways to make an effective sign. But what can you do make it stand out from all the rest?

Use contrasting colors.

It’s important to have a sign that is visible from far distances and all angles. Channel letter signs with LED lights work wonders in this department. However, not all signs are meant to be made with letters that literally jut out from their backgrounds. This is why it is important to have your message “jut out” in other ways. Using contrasting colors is a great way to do that.

“When choosing a background for your sign, don’t use anything that will make it difficult to focus on the main message,” advises the U.K.’s Identity Signage & Printing, “Using bold, striking colors doesn’t necessarily draw in customer attention, but alternating contrasting colors (such as black and yellow in the example above) will make it easier for your audience to understand who you are and what you’re all about.”

Avoid hard-to-read fonts.

Squinting is not something you want onlookers of
your sign to do. If it’s hard to read, your message will be lost. Furthermore,
the difficulty you present to those viewing your sign could cause them to
bypass your business altogether. Your best bet is choosing a font that is very
easy to make out.

“Fancy fonts can seriously compromise the legibility of your sign – as does mixing more than two fonts,” says Esko, “If you’re not quite sure whether you’re making the right choice, ask for a second (or third, fourth, …) opinion and check out our top typeface trends for signage.”

Make “less is more” your rule of thumb.

There is a lot of beauty in simplicity. Consider the
fact that the average length of a person’s attention span is usually pretty
short. It’s important to grab attention quickly. And if you’re insisting upon viewers
of your sign to take in an abundance of information, your message is likely to get
ignored. Keep your sign simple to ensure that when attention is grabbed, it is
kept long enough for your message to be effectively communicated.

“With the average attention span continuing to
shorten and the number of competitors increasing, it is essential that you keep
your signage clear and precise,” says Identity Signage & Printing, “Too
much detail can be as damaging as too little – it’s essential to keep the
balance right, whilst also being sure to include all the necessary information.”

I recently chose Stellar Signs to create a storefront mural on our front glass. Bonita and Steve were excellent to deal with. The entire process was great from beginning to end and the price was reasonable as well. I spent so many years wasting my time time with over priced incompetent people. I wish I would have used them years ago. From now on these are my go to source. Thank you Stellar Signs Crew for the great work!
